Now we get to the REALLY big parts! I ordered enough foam to do both wings, borrowed Ed Richards DC Power Supply, (Thanks again, Ed.). The Cozy Girrrrls sent me the metal templates currently circulating amonst us Cozy Builders (Nice!).
Caution: When laying out the Planiforms on the foam, remember t the foam comes to us in 7x "14.25" blocks, which if you don't allow for, will screw things up nicely.
The plans mention this, but I thought it worth saying again. I took the Trailing edge off, (carefully) to get things to the right dimensions so the joint between the 2 blocks fell further back from the leading edge. This will provide for less interference from the stick we use to hold the locks together. I did the starboard inboard core the way the plans state and all came out well. But instead of doing the same with the Port core, and risk gettting things balled up while trying to figure left from right, I just set the foam block on the starboard (completed) block and traced the same shape to the Port one. (Did I get wordy enough here?)
The just flip it over, keeping keeping the inboard end pointing the right way, and you'll save yourself a lot of "...if this was left, then that must be right."
